Seed-X Overview
Seed-X develops machine vision technology with customized deep learning algorithms for seed breeding and production cycles. For seed companies and seed producers, Seed-X applies a proprietary seed-by-seed sorting mechanism to unveil hidden patterns. This data is then converted into new rating and selection criteria, allowing superior seeds to be identified. Seed-X provides its proprietary deep learning algorithms to sort out (seed by seed) low quality and unqualified seed and grain and upgrade each lot to fulfil its maximum potential. Seed-X was one of the winners of the 2019 AgFunder AgriFood Tech Innovation Awards.

Seed-X Announces Sale of its Revolutionary GeNeeTM Technology to Organic Seed Company De Bolster
De Bolster, the leading organic seed breeding company, has purchased Seed-Xs GeNeeTM technology, an AI-powered scanning solution for seed quality improvement. The technology uses computer vision and artificial intelligence to classify seeds based on image analysis, predicting germination and other quality attributes. This allows for a reduction in seed waste and an increase in usable seed quantities. De Bolster plans to use the technology to improve the performance of its seed processing line and strengthen its production capabilities. The partnership with Seed-X and Petkus Technologie GmbH will provide customers with highly-germinating and vigorous seeds produced in a sustainable and cost-efficient manner.
